Chapter 229: Three Times Never
His Majesty Rong Yue was excited the whole night yesterday. His son Chen'er was finally going to be a father. Rong Yue had been waiting for three years. He was even prepared for Chen'er to never have children in his life.
His Majesty looked at Su Zhenzhen's belly with a loving look and waved at her, "It's cold outside, come in quickly, Zhenzhen." His big fat grandson and granddaughter~
Rong Jinchen did not feel lost because his position was replaced by the child. He also felt that Qingqing needed more careful and appropriate care in this spring when the weather was still cold. After all, there was a person in Qingqing's belly, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of her.
Entering the main hall of Weiyang Palace, he found that Crown Prince Rong Jinyou was not there today. His Majesty had given him a day off, so he didn't care what the court ministers thought.
Su Zhenzhen looked at her father, who seemed a bit too doting, and suddenly shook the cherry spring water (similar to jelly) in the white porcelain cup she was holding. "What's wrong? Is the charcoal fire in the hall not warm enough?" Rong Yue frowned, and was about to ask Yu Fuhai to add more golden charcoal.
Rong Jinchen knew what Su Zhenzhen was thinking. He was a little amused, "Father, Qingqing is scared by you. Please don't put so much pressure on her." Looking at Qingqing with such eyes, as if she was a piglet raised by father himself, was indeed a bit scary.
Rong Yue's face darkened. How could Chen'er say that? How could he be so scary? Didn't he just want Zhenzhen to eat more? After all, two people couldn't get enough nutrition from just one person.
After thinking about it again, he felt that his future grandchildren were more important. He withdrew his gaze reluctantly and found another topic, "Chen'er, I plan to let the director of the Imperial Hospital and the imperial physician who is good at preserving the fetus, together with the imperial physician of Prince Yan's Mansion, be responsible for Zhenzhen's pregnancy." This is his Chen'er's child.
Although Rong Yue did the same thing when the Crown Princess was pregnant, His Majesty is partial to the legitimate son.
Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen naturally agreed. She smiled at Rong Yue and said, "Thank you, Father! Your son and I couldn't be more relieved." With such top-tier treatment, how could she not be reassured? Besides, the imperial physician in Prince Yan's mansion was their own. "Your son thanks you, Father." He looked at his smiling father, a flicker of emotion in his eyes.
East Palace.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess, His Majesty treated Your Highness the Princess of Yan's pregnancy exactly the same as when you were pregnant before. But you are the Crown Princess, and Your Highness the Princess of Yan is only a princess. Besides, His Majesty doesn't value Your Highness the Crown Prince as much as before. We have to be on guard." Caixia, the Crown Princess's trusted maid, began to persuade her earnestly again.
But this time, the Crown Princess didn't choose to listen to her like she did the previous two times. She still has some political awareness. Now that her father is clearly alienating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is she crazy enough to compete with her own sister-in-law?
So she just said lightly: "If you listen to my mother again in the future, you will not be able to serve me. Don't you know who your master is?" Caixia was frightened and shuddered all over. She immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "My Lady Princess, I know I was wrong. Please punish me." She saw that she had hit the mark on the Lady Princess's mind twice before, so she continued to add fuel to the fire without thinking.
That's right. The Crown Princess should be a woman who is treated uniquely in the world. The Princess of Yan is just the Crown Princess's younger sister. There should be an order of seniority. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?
Besides, Caixia also had some secret thoughts. Why did the Princess of Yan live a more carefree life than the Crown Princess? From the betrothal gifts to the dowry to her husband's backyard, they were all a level higher than the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess pinched her brows and said, "Alright, let's forget it this time. There's no such thing as a third time. This is the third time. Go away." Caixia kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude and retreated silently.
The Crown Princess was the only one in the room. Her mind was empty and her thoughts were in turmoil. She couldn't help but start thinking about her experiences over the past few years.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not lustful, and he respects his first wife very much. Even though she has not been pregnant for three years, he did not blame her as the Crown Princess. He even did better than ordinary young masters from aristocratic families.
The Crown Princess has known since she was a child that she is the future Crown Princess, the future Queen, and that she should be the mother of the country, virtuous and kind, and should not be jealous. However, she has grown up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as childhood sweethearts, and it is very difficult for her to guard her heart and not fall in love with him.
She could only comfort herself that what she wanted was the position of Crown Princess and the future Queen, not to be like her fourth brother's wife, indulging in useless love all day long.
Although she was raised as a princess consort, she was still a human being, with emotions, jealousy, and sadness. So when she learned that her fourth brother's wife was his, and that he was willing to be with her forever, and that the betrothal gift showed no consideration for her feelings as a princess consort, and that the Su family's dowry was the same, she couldn't help but get hung up on it.
Wasn't Caixia's words exactly what she was thinking? That's why she didn't stop her at the first moment.
Wouldn't the Crown Princess know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was naturally on His Royal Highness's side? They were born of the same mother, so logically she should have a good relationship with her fourth brother's wife.
So she couldn't help but envy her fourth sister-in-law, and at the same time she was a little jealous of her, but when it came to major issues, she always protected her fourth sister-in-law.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's situation is far worse than before, so the Crown Princess will certainly not do such a stupid thing as cutting off her own limbs.
Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Xu Siyu was holding her one-year-old son in her arms. Her eyes were full of motherly love and she couldn't help but kiss the chubby baby she had raised. She really couldn't love him enough.
She now has money, a child, a loving mother-in-law and a considerate sister-in-law, and she and her husband respect each other like guests. She lives a very happy life.
After finishing his shift, Zhou Xi returned to the main room in his official robes and looked at his lovely wife and young son.
He is now very satisfied with his current life. After three years of internship in the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Xi is now the head of the Guizhou Provincial Administration Office of the Ministry of Revenue, a sixth-rank official.
You should know that the first place winner was initially appointed as a sixth-rank editor, and after three years of experience, he was only promoted to a sixth-rank lecturer. Su Zhenzhen's eldest brother, Su Jun, had both background, connections, and ability. Three years later, he was favored by the Dali Temple and appointed as the fifth-rank Right Temple Secretary.
So Zhou Xi is very satisfied now. He has a successful career, a wife and a son. Beauty is just a skeleton, not to mention that Xu Siyu is also first-class in appearance.
Xu Siyu looked at Zhou Xi and said with a smile, "Husband, come and hug Heng'er, he misses his daddy so much." Heng'er, who just turned one year old, can already speak, and calls his daddy and mommy "diediao" and "liang". Xu Siyu didn't feel tired of playing with him for a whole afternoon. After all, there were several wet nurses around, and she only needed to tease him.
After Zhou Xi had his personal servant change his clothes, he looked at his chubby son wrapped in swaddling clothes and couldn't help but smile. "Heng'er, I'm your father." His eyes were filled with doting.
